Set color of line item in ListBox, MemoBox or RichEdit

I am trying to set the color of each line of text in the ListBox control.
The only property that I know of is the Font.Color,  but the color setting
will affect the entire list rather rather than each line of the list.

I would need some helps on how to set the color of individual line in
the listbox control.  Am I was using the wrong control?  

Pls help me!!!!!

Sheak:

You have to set the Style property of the TListBox to either
lbOwnerDrawFixed or lbOwnerDrawVariable and handle the drawing of the text
your self in a handler for the OnDrawItem event.

With ListBox you'll have to play with owner-draw feature of it.
If you want to do this with Memo control, you could try our ColorMemo
component. It does color-coding like a snap. And it's FREE.
